TECH CORNER

Each year, the TECH CORNER zone, in partnership with CNRS and COSMETIC VALLEY, highlights the most innovative technologies developed in research laboratories.

For this anniversary edition, the technology presented will be the result of collaboration between the Laboratoire Réactions et Génie des Procédés (LRGP) and the Centre Européen de Recherches et de Formation aux Arts Verriers (Cerfav).

This process enables soil to be cleaned of metals, and a material rich in coloring compounds to be obtained via an extraction process using hyperaccumulative plants. This collaboration enables the material to be recycled as a component for shaping and coloring glass in cosmetics.

This innovation paves the way for the integration of more virtuous raw materials in glass coloring.

Demonstrations every 30 minutes (duration: 15 minutes)
